*All* classification is arbitrary.
If script classification is arbitrary or nominal, isn't there is still a case for attempting some consistency or following a single model within a particular standard like the UCS? If script classification in the UCS has been largely based on a particular historical model which Michael and others subscribe to, are there good reasons to adopt other (arbitrary) systems now? At least that classification has the virtue of being well known and around for a long time - even if some contemporary scholars in some fields disagree with it.
